Recommended Posts

Several dev tweets went out today expanding on the available info on what exactly unlocking artifact appearances will look like once Legion finishes. Some parts, like Mage Tower and M+15, you'll have to do wile Legion is still current, but others will be obtainable in later expansions as well. There are also specific details regarding Mage Tower and M+15:

Yea- honestly I was excited to be challenged because I liked the gold challenge in mop but the mage tower is ridiculous. Most of my friends did 100 or more attempts before getting it. I put in about 20 or 30 and then said fuck it, I'll wait for power creep. I've been raiding at a heroic level since wrath I don't need a silly thing to validate my skill. PS im a prot paladin so yea- I'll be waiting

I sort of wish they'd downscale your ilvl to 900 for that - kinda defeats the purpose of a 'challenge' to walk in at 945 and blow it out of the water. 

That does not mean that I'm elitist or anything like that - no way I'd clear that without sinking about 50,000 shards into it.

Finally some certainty, and I can relax a bit.

Now if we can just get an answer about the other Prestige rewards...

So the only checklist items before Legion ends are:

  • Mage Tower on every spec
  • Mythic+ 15

Getting gear on all my alts should be a cake. (915 LFR, 930 Greater Rift).
The biggest issue are the legendaries.

Legendaries aren't an issue. They specifically only used transmog that was already in the game for legendaires so there was no issue with having to hunt down a specific legendary to get an appearance. Look at the wowhead page for each one and you'll find the identical item. That's how I understood it anyway.

I believe he means legendaries that will help make the challenges easier.

Some may be but I highly doubt, you will just walk in and "blow them out of the water" first try. some are certainly going to be a pain in higher gear/legendary dependent. Take the BM hunter - without a healing legendary it's ridiculously  hard. If you got the pants, it's a cakewalk... I'd assume the same is true for Tank challenges as I hear they are quite tough. I for myself don't think the challenge will diminish. You still have to invest a lot of time and attempts. So whoever got the appearances - no matter how - well done.

Edit: See Granis' post above.

Yeah I find it odd they don't let us be able to unlock the mage tower ones....since that content is basically made to be scaled down. I mean it already is a separate instance so why not? But I guess the main reason is because like every expansion, the classes wont play the same in which the challenges were made since they are probably going to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the classes again.

P.S.

The 15 keystone is understandable since that is basically like the challenge dungeon sets of past.

Maybe they could unlock some challenge looks, if you completed one come the next expansion. I think unlocking every look for one unlocked would be asking way too much ;) but maybe the ones for the class or the challenge or whatnot... Didn't they do something similar with the Challenger Weapons when Legion released?

TBH i highly doubt something like that will happen...

In all fairness, after doing all challenges (trying to do most of them), the Agatha encounter feels more like a glorified gear check. When compared to the Twins, Tauren and the Worm, Xylem, and God-Queen, at least those require a higher degree of awareness. Agatha is more of "how fast/hard you can dps", than anything else.

I've read from several sources that you should be able to get 1 legendary a week if you do all the PvE content. Even if the legendary you want is the very last one, you should have plenty of time.

So, one question I've had seems to be answered here: [Balance of Power] will still be 'live' after Legion ends? I still want my gummy bear but he's not a high priority alt.

I’m surprised no one brought up a question about the RBG tint of the mage tower appearance. Does it just kind of stay there forever, so if you unlocked the mage tower appearance during legion and you win 10 RBGs at any time next expac you get the tint? If anybody knows the answer for this specific tint that would be awesome.

I feel like this about the tank challenge. Waiting til I get heroic gear from the next raid to try again.

I think they will scale up challenge mode for the next tier.

If they do this, they are going to screw a lot of people that were just waiting to Antorus to complete the mage tower...

Since Devs say "all artifact appearences" (with the exception of Mage Tower and Mythic 15+ ones), does this include DH's Azzinoth Warglaives skin? Will it be available to get post-Legion?

Do you mean Arsenal: The Warglaives of AzzinothArsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth from Black Temple Timewalking? I don't think it's going anywhere.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
